Rahman, Toney Scuffle at Cancun Resort

MEXICO CITY - WBC heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman and James Toney scuffled in a hotel hallway before a cocktail party at a Cancun resort.

Several people had to separate them, and neither boxer was hurt, WBC executive secretary Mauricio Sulaiman said.

The confrontation happened Monday at the Le Meridien Cancun Resort & Spa, where the WBC was holding an awards ceremony. While Toney was being interviewed by the Mexican network Television Azteca, Rahman walked by. After they made eye contact, they exchanged words and started punching each other, the WBC said in a statement.

Last month, Rahman was voted WBC champ after titleholder Vitali Klitschko retired with a knee injury. Rahman held the title briefly in 2001. The WBC ordered Rahman to meet Toney, and their promoters had until Tuesday to agree on a fight date. Otherwise, it would be put to a purse bid.

They say Jason Estrada is supposed to be that person, apparently many are predicting him to reunite all the titles and be the next undisputed champ, but we unfortunately are 3-4 years from finding out if this is true.

^Yup...because where does being big and extremely athetlic come in handy? That's right folks....Football and Basketball. Want to know how much people can get paid in the NFL and NBA? Probably a **** load more than any MMA fighter, and only if you are very popular the same goes for Boxing.

It's just sad ;P The sports need to become more mainstream, that is all.
